As we navigate the H5N1 bird flu situation, the CDC’s proactive expansion of testing echoes a crucial lesson from COVID-19: the importance of anticipation and readiness. With a significant increase in test distribution, the approach is clear—stay ahead of the virus and protect those at risk. This strategy, informed by past experiences, underlines the need for vigilance and swift action in public health responses. #PublicHealth #CDC #H5N1 #PandemicPreparedness #COVID19Lessons https://lnkd.in/ds5kZCqy

CDC Declares COVID Is Now "Just The Flu" Panic and fear are never a good response to disease, and are a poor basis for any public health policy. Propaganda is destructive in any circumstance, but in the realm of healthcare it is downright lethal. The data on COVID since the beginning has shown us this. Bureaucrats are horrible at healthcare, and politicians are positively dangerous when they decide to muck around in healthcare. The data on COVID since the beginning has shown us this. Be glad the CDC is conceding the obvious, that COVID is not now a public health crisis. But do not stop being outraged and infuriated that the CDC will not concede that COVID was never a public health crisis. Do not stop being angry at the lies that have been told, at the corruption that has been not just tolerated, but actively celebrated. Do not stop seeking not just answers but accountability. https://lnkd.in/geZQ2VT8 #CDC #COVID19 #pandemic

WHO declares mpox a "global public health emergency", again ... What does this even mean? A global health emergency sounds really scary, surely, they are shutting down travel and putting up quarantines and ... "WHO’s highest level of alert, and it can accelerate research, funding and international public health measures and co-operation to contain the disease." but instead, we only get "CDC has also?issued an advisory?for people traveling to the DRC and its neighboring countries" the words we choose matter, if we say something is a global emergency but don't treat it as such, the next time we have a global emergency people won't care. we can all think of 100's of things gov't did wrong during covid, lets create better systems in order to get better results, because there will be a next time ...

The COVID-19 Inquiry report released this week was clear that an Australian CDC is needed to prepare us better for the next public health emergency/pandemic. Fantastic to see the Hon. Mark Butler announce $251.7m of funding to establish an Independent CDC by January 2026, moving it from the current Interim status to what should become a lasting national asset for Australia. Building the data platforms and sharing environment to support next generation disease surveillance and evidence-based decision making is a key initial task and benefit of an independent CDC. Creating an authoritative single source of truth to drive consistency in understanding of key intelligence will avoid some of the inefficiency and confusion we experienced through COVID-19. Looking forward to seeing the progress and development of this capability! https://lnkd.in/gRufWVFe Justin Scanlan

Wonderful article on the importance of trust in public health work. It leaves unanswered, however, a major question: How do we begin to rebuild trust when it is lost, especially when that loss of trust is tied up in the politics of an increasingly polarized and fractured population? We don't need to rebuild trust in public health institutions - we need to rebuild trust in the fundamental good intentions of our nation's institutions. https://lnkd.in/eHn4EabV

As a member of the public health community, you have probably seen the troubling news of the?House majority’s FY25 bill?that funds Health and Human Services agencies, including CDC. While this bill will not become law in its current form, it sends a disturbing signal about a lack of prioritization of public health by the House majority. COVID-19 continues to show the world what we’ve always known—IPs play a crucial role in keeping our neighborhoods safe and healthy. In addition to fighting a global pandemic, the infection prevention and control community is protecting us from surges in healthcare-associated infections, measles outbreaks, flu season, and so many other day-to-day infectious battles. Right now, there is a small window to make our collective applied epidemiology voice heard before the House bill comes to the floor next week and the Senate finalizes its recommendations. Your voice matters.? Even though this bill is not likely to be finalized, it is critical for members of Congress to hear that cuts to public health are NOT okay. Thank you for taking a few minutes review and research the impact of this House Bill, and if you feel so inclined, reaching out to your Senators and Representative?about the impact cuts to public health have on your jurisdiction. Below is a link to the American Public Health Association's Action Center to make your outreach simple. It’s easy and takes less than 5 minutes!?Just click on the link below to send a message in your personal capacity to your Senators and Representative?about the impact cuts to public health have on your jurisdiction. A sample message is provided for you (you don’t need to modify), but feel free to personalize it with stories about why public health and applied epidemiology make a difference.

?? Thrilled to have completed a course on “Public Health Approaches to Infectious Disease” ?? I recently completed a course from OpenLearn that deepened my understanding of the global burden of infectious diseases and the public health strategies employed to reduce their impact. Throughout the course, I explored: ? Key strategies in global infectious disease surveillance ? Public health interventions, such as vaccination programs and community participation ? The role of water quality, sanitation, and hygiene in disease prevention I’m particularly excited to apply these insights to my passion for public health and women’s wellness initiatives. Continuous learning is essential in making a meaningful impact on public health, and I look forward to implementing these strategies in future projects. #PublicHealth #InfectiousDisease #HealthEquity #WomenWellness #ContinuousLearning #OpenLearn

Important Legislative Update: Virginia Takes a Stand on Alpha-gal Syndrome Reporting I'm pleased to share that Virginia's General Assembly has unanimously passed a bill requiring alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) cases to be reportable to the CDC, marking a significant milestone in public health policy. This legislation, now awaiting the governor's signature, positions Virginia as a leader in the management and understanding of AGS. AGS, induced by the bite of a lone star tick, results in severe allergic reactions to red meat and related products. The move to make AGS reportable is a crucial step in enhancing surveillance, research, and awareness of this condition, which is essential as the habitat of the lone star tick expands, recently including sightings in Canada. This legislation underscores the importance of proactive health management and the role of informed policymaking in safeguarding public health. It also highlights the need for ongoing vigilance and research into tick-borne diseases, reflecting a growing recognition of their impact on society. Let's discuss how this development can serve as a model for other regions and the implications for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the public. #HealthPolicy #AlphaGalSyndrome #PublicHealthInnovation #LegislativeAction #TickBorneDiseases
